I actually think that money as a reward for older children is a good idea in the long run. It teaches them the value of money and how to handle it. And in the OP it was mentioned about donating half to a charity, which teaches the child that all his/her incomes will eventually be taxed.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
